French businessman Bernard Tapie (R) flanked by his lawyer Herve Temime (C) arrives for a hearing at the financial pole on March 12, 2015. The Paris Court of Appeal last February struck out the 403-million-euro payment ($430 million) awarded by arbitrators in 2008 to settle Tapie's dispute with Credit Lyonnais bank. The magistrates are seeking to determine whether the 2008 ruling was a sham with one of the three judges suspected of longterm ties with one of Tapie's lawyers. The 2008 arbitration in the business tycoon's favour ended a long row over the sale of sportswear group Adidas, which Tapie sold in 1993. FEFERBERG
